7.8 Combat with a bow.

Archery is a much safer form of combat than swordsmanship since the archer remains distant from combat. Archers are commonly found among the combating guilds, those gaining the skills of Weaponry, Forestry or Thievery - deadly accurate marksman feared by all who come into battle against them. To use a bow you must WIELD it as you would a normal weapon. You must also be wearing a quiver. Arrows for your quiver can be purchased from one of the many professional fletchers of Avalon. You can SHOOT players or creatures in your location or in straight lines in specific compass directions. Those very skilled in Weaponry and Forestry will be able to fire cross-bows or to fletch their own arrows.
